Light up Your Christmas campaign underway BY DUAY O’NEIL ©2012 NPT PHOTO BY DUAY O’NEIL Sarah Stokely, left, and her mother Kellye Stokely display two of Newport’s new Christmas lights.

NEWPORT-A campaign to purchase new Christmas lights for Newport has been launched by Kellye and Sarah Stokely, a mother-daughter team of volunteer workers. Concerned by the shabby state of the town’s Christmas decorations and the fact the Newport didn’t have pretty lights to welcome visitors to the city, they approached Newport City Council last month with their plan to "light up" the community with sparkling new angels, snow?akes, and other signs of the season. "This is strictly a volunteer program," said Kellye, "a community service project. Everyone bene?ts." Their desire is for businesses, organizations, families, churches, and individuals to sponsor a light. "The lights cost $635 each, a cost which includes shipping," said Kellye. "They are all LED lights." The City of Newport has given the organizers $4,000 to buy the ?rst set of lights as a way to kick off the program. "Each set has an average of six lights depending on the size," said Kellye. "We already have a sponsor to purchase lights for all eight poles on the McSween bridge." Already in the garage at City Hall are an angel soaring eight feet high, a bell standing six feet high, and a wreath that is ?ve feet high. "The angels will be placed at the I-40 overpass," explained Kellye. "Won’t they be a welcoming sight to travelers on the interstate!" Plans call for the lights to go up shortly after Thanksgiving. "We’re working with Tim Dockery of Newport Parks and Recreation," she continued, "in getting the lights put up." Future plans call for more lights to be added yearly. "We hope the City Council will add this to their yearly budget as a way to expand the number of lights and maintain them." "It’s good for tourism, too," she concluded. "It helps show what our town has to offer."
